“…In multiple pulp stones, the stones were seen in 40% (n=240 study subjects and hypertension in 54% (n=20) research topics. These findings were in agreement with the previous studies of Hoshyari et al (2022) and Parashar et al (2022), where authors reported a significant association of hyperlipidemia and hypertension in irregularly shaped and non-laminated pulp stones as of the current research.…”

Pulp stones signify the calcification of the discrete origin seen in the pulp tissues and are seen either embedded or attached to the dentin. Pulp stones can be a pathological or physiological entity. The pathogenesis of the pulp stone formation is idiopathic. However, various theories have been proposed. Pulp stone frequency is in the range of 8% to 90%. They are more identified on the histopathologic examination than radiographic assessment. The present study aimed to assess and correlate the histopathologic analysis and clinical parameters of the pulp stones to hyperlipidemia and systemic hypertension. The study assessed 140 subjects for the correlation of histopathologic analysis and clinical parameters of the pulp stones to hyperlipidemia and systemic hypertension. After inclusion, detailed case history was recorded for all the participants. This was followed by the radiographic assessment, and the pulp tissue after extirpation was sent for processing. The data gathered was statistically assessed with the Chi-square test and SPSS software. The study showed that on radiographic assessment, pulp stones were seen in 28 subjects and histopathologic assessment in 60 subjects among the total studied 140 subjects. Hyperlipidemia and hypertension were significantly associated with using nonlaminated and uneven varieties of pulp stone. The study concludes that subjects having irregularly shaped and nonlaminated pulp stones on histopathologic analysis should undergo assessment for systemic hypertension and hyperlipidemia.

Objective: To evaluate the association between the prevalence of pulp stones (PS) in permanent teeth and calcified atherosclerotic plaques (CAP). Methods: An electronic search was performed in 10 databases to locate observational studies that investigated the association between PS in permanent teeth and CAP, published until March 2022. Two reviewers performed the search, selection and extraction of data from eligible studies. The individual risk of bias of eligible studies was assessed using the JBI Critical Appraisal Tools. The meta-analysis was conducted using fixed and random effects and odds ratio (OR) as an effect measure with a 95% confidence interval (CI). The heterogeneity between the studies was quantified using the I² test. The certainty of evidence was evaluated using the GRADE approach. Results: The electronic search resulted in 2968 records, of which only 7 studies were considered eligible. The total sample consisted of 3770 participants from 5 countries. All studies showed biases of confounding factors and exposure assessment. Based on six studies and with very low certainty of evidence, the meta-analysis showed that patients with PS were more likely to also have CAP in carotid or coronary arteries (OR: 1.70; 95% CI: 1.21; 2.38, I² = 0%). Conclusions: Limited evidence suggests that there is a positive association between the prevalence of PS in permanent teeth detected using panoramic radiography and CAP in the coronary or carotid arteries.
